is there any way of checking the exact traffic passing through a cisco router.
SNMP [?]Thats twice today. You can install cacti to monitor it, on the public interface. Thats my POV am sure we have skunks with more ideas. 2009/9/29 lydiah ndirangu <lyndirangu22@gmail.com>

Also using a command like show interface XXX will show you the capacity you are using where XXX is the router interface facing your ISP(that is if you manage your router) e.g. show interface serial1/0 On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 5:37 PM, Brian Lusiola <lusiola@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes; do you want to see the total traffic passing through, or a breakdown of traffic by protocol? For the first one, check out mrtg and it's derivatives - purely SNMP, so it's supported by your router for sure; for the second, check out NetFlow - if your router supports it. If you could give some few details about your setup (router model/IOS version, whether you have a box that you can use for monitoring, and whether that box runs *nix or Windows) you'll get a heap of possible solution from the skunks.

Hi, You can use Cisco Works to monitor traffic through a Cisco router. In particular, you can use the QoS Policy Manager (QPM) to monitor and manage traffic (to the extend of protocols, UDP,and TCP ports) cheers. On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 9:11 AM, Steve Muchai <smuchai@gmail.com> wrote:

You presume correctly :)
George, You are right. The Cisco router is configure for SNMP and the router sends SMIBs packets to the Cisco Works QPM server. It works similar to Cacti. It can generate reports, can define QoS policy and so on. Cheers. On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 10:58 AM, George Njoroge <themburu@gmail.com> wrote:

Well snmp is the obvious choice, the number of applications supporting this are quite many...too many....if you just have a small setup with your desktop try the free prtg, or mrtg (depending on your inclination prtg is a lesser hustle)....If you want to go to complex scenarios and have a bit of fun doing it....then you could test zabbix,mrtg,cacti,open-nms etc....sort of overkill for a single router...

Hi Lydiah, If u just want to monitor one Cisco router, u can use QoS on the interface. Just configure NBAR to recognize all applications coming in the interface, classify the traffic using protocols then use the sho command to see the no. of packects mapped to a particular class. You can even map URLs and monitor them using the 'match protocol http url '*123.com*" command'. cheers. On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 5:01 PM, lydiah ndirangu <lyndirangu22@gmail.com>wrote:

George,
You are right. The Cisco router is configure for SNMP and the router sends SMIBs packets to the Cisco Works QPM server. It works similar to Cacti. It can generate reports, can define QoS policy and so on.
Cheers.

Hi,
You can use Cisco Works to monitor traffic through a Cisco router. In particular, you can use the QoS Policy Manager (QPM) to monitor and manage traffic (to the extend of protocols, UDP,and TCP ports)

Yes; do you want to see the total traffic passing through, or a breakdown of traffic by protocol? For the first one, check out mrtg and it's derivatives - purely SNMP, so it's supported by your router for sure; for the second, check out NetFlow - if your router supports it.
If you could give some few details about your setup (router model/IOS version, whether you have a box that you can use for monitoring, and whether that box runs *nix or Windows) you'll get a heap of possible solution from the skunks.

Hi techi, 1. Isn't NBAR, or the lack of it, IOS/platform dependent? 2. Wouldn't NBAR be unnecessarily complex to configure and use, and its output rather cryptic if she'll have to use CLI? BR, S
You are right, NBAR is IOS dependent. To configure NBAR, use one command 'auto qos discovery' on the interface, so its pretty simple. Class mapping is a bit complex but is easily be done to monitor one class of traffic. Well, I think NBAR is the cheapest option to monitor one router since all is required is the console (no server required). On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 4:58 PM, Steve Muchai <smuchai@gmail.com> wrote:

i am using a rather old router(2600). i dont think NBAR will be supported by this router but thanks for the insight. actually the problem i was having was with my mails. they were taking too long download. i was wondering what was passing in my router. i changed my clients mail protocal from POP to IMAP and the problem was solved. anyboby with an explanation why IMAP is better than POP or what was going on exactly????

Class mapping is a bit complex but is easily be done to monitor one class of traffic. Well, I think NBAR is the cheapest option to monitor one router since all is required is the console (no server required).

Hi Lydiah,
If u just want to monitor one Cisco router, u can use QoS on the interface. Just configure NBAR to recognize all applications coming in the interface, classify the traffic using protocols then use the sho command to see the no. of packects mapped to a particular class. You can even map URLs and monitor them using the 'match protocol http url '*123.com*" command'.
Hi techi,
1. Isn't NBAR, or the lack of it, IOS/platform dependent? 2. Wouldn't NBAR be unnecessarily complex to configure and use, and its output rather cryptic if she'll have to use CLI?

i am using a rather old router(2600). i dont think NBAR will be supported by this router but thanks for the insight.
It may well be supported, this depends on the IOS feature set.
actually the problem i was having was with my mails. they were taking too long download. i was wondering what was passing in my router.
i changed my clients mail protocal from POP to IMAP and the problem was solved.
anyboby with an explanation why IMAP is better than POP or what was going on exactly????
To the best of my knowledge, for POP the client downloads the entire message - including attachments. With IMAP, the client downloads the message headers and displays them in the inbox. When you select an particular message the contents are then downloaded. Messages are stored on the server, unless you transfer them to a local folder. Messaging gurus, I stand to be corrected. It's possible you just had one or more ultra-large attachment....worse, it might turn out to be junk. BR, S
Lydiah,with IMAP you are downloading just the headers (sender details n subject line) and not the whole mail as is incase of POP. Obviously Email headers would download faster than a complete email. Something else could be chewing up your bandwidth. Alternatively,implement a policy to prioritize email traffic over others if it deserves priority.

Hi Lydia, The 2600 series supports NBAR, check: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6558/ps6612/ps6... I am happy to hear you solved your problem though. Yeah, IMAP consumes less bandwidth, its commonly used in smart phones. cheers. On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 5:37 PM, lydiah ndirangu <lyndirangu22@gmail.com>wrote:
